[lamp_shade]

7. That's usually the case.

[MH1]

8. I love it and use it quite a bit. :)

[Crankie Avalon]

9. Just like Joe the Plumber hates welfare, but that doesn't stop him from using it, either.

:evilgrin:

[seabeyond]

10. or that actor (football coach) on food stamps stating govt never helped him

that is my favorite

[MilesColtrane]

17. Or, Governor Rick Perry, who hates the Stimulus Bill, but will take the money.

[redqueen]

11. Do you have a list?

If so you need to edit it... cause I never complained about it once. (Referring of course to your response to me in that other thread.)

My only complaint was not showing the number of unrecs.

So... update your list or something.

[lukasahero]

14. Actually, I'd like to see the list that shows who's unrec'ing what

I don't know how the OP knows who's using it today... :shrug:

I know I've never complained about it. Never used it much either - before today.

[redqueen]

15. He doesn't.

It's a bad day for haters... the flipping out will continue for a while longer, I'm sure.

[CakeGrrl]

19. I'll bet a few people would actually pay $$$ to see those lists.

:rofl:

[gkhouston]

21. Actually, they're more likely to pay to see the names they'd like to see on those lists

whether or not they're the correct names.

I don't give a shit who's unreccing what, but then I don't spend time on the Greatest Page and don't give a lot of thought to how many recs a post has.

[slackmaster]

32. Here are the subjects that I usually summarily Unrec...

Birthers
Any mention of Sarah Palin or her family
We're so great because Republicans are a bunch of poopy heads
American disparagingly referring to Americans in the third person
Claims that bad things that happen everywhere happen "only in America"
Our country was never attacked by terrorists during the Clinton Administration

And of course, anti-Unrec threads.

[gkhouston]

20. Nah, he got special binoculars in his breakfast cereal and he's spying on DU.

:crazy:

He sees you when you're posting,
He knows when you unrec...

So cut that shit out or you won't be getting a pony for Xmas. :sarcasm:

[lukasahero]

27. LOL - that was cute. eom

[RetroLounge]

25. I have a list right here in my hand...

[Gold Metal Flake]

Can't make me.

[RetroLounge]

23. Nya nya

:hi:

RL

[madrchsod]

16. i must confess..i`ve used it once.

[surrealAmerican]

18. How would you know?

Are people posting saying, "I hate the unrec feature, but I'm unrecing this"?

Do you have a link for that?

[RetroLounge]

24. Yeah, I have a link, right here...

26. It does seem many that called for it are the same folk that despise it the most

I do think it is a total candyass move to unrec without a comment that explains why and would have no problem with my record being public or at least the option to allow the community to see the threads I have unrecced.

I ain't skerrt but then again I don't care that my ballot is secret particularly either, I'm a stand and be counted type kat.

[A HERETIC I AM]

29. Should people that rec a thread post a comment on why they did?

I do think it is a total candyass move to unrec without a comment that explains why

Why? What difference could it possibly make to you knowing why someone holds the opinion a particular thread is not worthy of being placed on the greatest page?

Amazing

[Warren Stupidity]

30. I've never seen a good answer to that question.

Other than somehow 'thumbs up' is all ponies and ice cream while 'thumbs down' is teh evile.

With the addition of the Top Tens, the whiners have nothing much to complain about in reality, so like the OP they just go and make shit up to be outraged about.

[SidDithers]

28. I love it, and I'm using it now...nt

[slackmaster]

31. I'm giving this one a Rec, and I don't even know why

:hi:

[busybl]

33. I've never used it

[slackmaster]

34. But you bravely use Ignore on people who publicly Unrec'd your silly anti-Unrec thread

:crazy:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6744887#6744999

I think it would be boring to be surrounded only by people who agree with me on everything.

But that's just me.

[bigwillq]

36. I do!!!

:rofl:

[11 Bravo]

35. I call it the "troll enabler and encourager" feature, and refuse to use it.
